Ironclad Warship Located in Mobile NEW YORK (AP) After more than a century, engineers have found the Civil War ironclad Tecumseh, whose sinking in 1864 during the Battle of Mobile Bay is said to have inspired Rear Adm. David G. Farragut to exclaim: "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" A salvage team announced here Thursday that the 225-foot Tecumseh had been found Feb. 1 at a depth of 38 feet at the bottom of the mouth of Mobile Bay. She was almost completely overturned with only six feet of her keel sticking out of the.mud.

The Smithsonian Institution and the naval salvage office are Questions Autonomy Measure JUNEAU (AP) A union autonomy bill now before the legislature might be "less susceptible to attach" if it carried a clause permitting Alaska workers to vote on the question of establishing locals, Atty. Gen. Donald Burr said Thursday. The statement was made in an opinion requested by the House Judiciary Committee, which is considering the The attorney general added, however, that he felt the bill is not directly in violation of the constitution nor of national labor policy. The opinion was presented to the committee as it conducted a final hearing on the bill which passed the Senate several weeks ago.

Under its provisions, all international labor unions having 100 or more members who reside or work in the state would have to establish local chapters in Alaska. Failure to do so would, upon conviction, be punishable' by a fine of from $1,000 each offense. Two representatives of labor organizations appearing before the committee spoke in opposition to the legislation. Dwayne Carlson of Fairbanks representing the AFL-CIO, said that the bill wouldn't do what lawmakers hoped it would do. "There is no guarantee in this measure for local "And it would be impossible for a local of 100 members or even more to support and properly police a statewide organization." Ferrell Campbell, business agent for Local 302 of the Operating Engineers said he had no doubt but what the measure was unconstitutional, "There is adequate protection for Alaska workers under federal labor laws," he said.

"Workers who have complaints are simply not using existing grievance procedures to their fullest extent." now studying the problems involved in prying the ship loose from the mud. It is expected that the Tecumseh will be hauled up, refurbished and placed on display in the Smithsonian Institution's proposed National Armed Forces Museum in 'Washington. The ironclad had been presumed lost beyond recovery for many years, and previous dragging operations had failed to find it. But new efforts were begun to recover the sunken ship by the Navy and the Smithsonian Institution with the help of a team of engineers from Weston Instruments, of Newark, N.J. They employed a sea recovery technique called spontaneous potential in which the bottom of the bay was probed with cables tipped with electrodes sensitive to electricity coming from metal objects in salt water.

They found the ship three days later, and divers went down and made positive identification. The Tecumseh arrived with three other ironclads the night before the Battle of Mobile after Farragut had waited for months beyond the mouth of the bay for the ironclads to be outfitted in Pensacola.

Farragut, in his wooden flagship, the Hartford, launched the assault with 14 regular warships and with the Tecumseh leading the ironclads at dawn on Aug. 5, 1864.

The Tecumseh fired the first shot at Fort Morgan. An hour later the Tecumseh struck a torpedo after it had veered slightly off course, presumably to avoid fire from the fort. Farragut watched the ironclad suddenly tip over and sink in less than a minute with most of its crew of 105 men, including the captain Commander Tunis Augustus M. Craven. Farragut quickly ordered his flagship to take the lead.

When an aide reminded him of the torpedoes that had sunk the Tecumseh, Farragut is said to have shouted: "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" The Tecumseh was the only major federal loss. The Tennessee had capitulated before the morning was over. The forts and the port were in federal hands by Aug. 23. WASHINGTON (AP) The National Student Association is considering giving up its overseas activities in the belief its representatives would always be looked on as government spies.

As an emergency NSA board meeting on the organization's future dragged into the third day today, its leaders appeared convinced abandonment of its international branch will be the cost of its long-secret financial link with the Central Intelligence Agency that now has come to light. "I think that's very likely to happen," said a participant in the meeting, Jim Johnson, 23, last year's vice president for national affairs. Johnson and other NSA leaders said Thursday no CIA money has gone into the student organization's domestic activities including its extensive civil rights program in the South. The NSA has an office in Tougaloo, Miss, and operates the Southern Student Human Relations project in Atlanta under a grant from the Marshall Field Foundation, Johnson said. It also has conducted voter registration drives in the South raised money for impoverished Negro families and collected more than 1 million books from students for distribution to Negro colleges.

Johnson said he was unaware until a few weeks ago that the CIA had been underwriting the cost of NSA's participation in foreign student activities for the last 15 years. A future under the shadow of suspicion also faced other student groups known to have received money from foundations that allegedly served as financial channels for the CIA. "Everyone will assume now that anyone working for a youth group is ipso facto, a CIA agent," Slid the director of one of them, Eugene Theroux. Theroux, 28, heads Independent Research Service which got money from the Independence Foundation. of Boston, named by Ramparts magazine as a CIA front.

It was Ramparts that put the spotlight on the undercover relationship between the CIA and NSA. Theroux said he was unaware of any CIA money coming to his organization, which was set up by some students in Cambridge, in 1958 to advise American students planning to attend the 1959 Vienna Youth Festival. It also reportedly financed American student trips to the Helsinki Youth Festival in 1962. Internal Revenue Service files show it got 8125,000 from the Independence Foundation in 1962. Official tax records also showed the Independence Foundation made individual grants to two former NSA presidents and a former overseas representative.

The records show Edward Garvey received $3,000 in 1962, when he was president. It was listed as a scholarship. Garvey, 26, now a student at the University of Wisconsin law school, said he was not getting CIA money. Tax records also show that Robert T. Francis a former overseas representative for NSA, received $4,681 from the foundation in 1964, and that W.

Dennis Shaul, that year's president, got $500. Shaul said in Akron, Ohio, that NSA "had no more problems with that (CIA) money than any other money." He said the funds "enabled us to send students who had no idea of the relationship to meetings where they felt no compulsion at all to espouse a government position." There hasn't been a world student conference since Helsinki, a fact former CIA Director Allen W. Dulles feels is directly traceable to the CIA's support of NSA, He told The Associated Press Thursday the strong representation fay U.S. students made possible by the CIA money ruined such conferences as propaganda forums for the Communists. The relationship also strongly was defended in the Senate by Sn.

Gale McGee, who called- it "a much-needed and shrewd program." McGee accused critics of the CIA of "popping off first and thinking later" and said "the country can ill afford the types of political shenanigans that an incident of this type seems to provoke." But a Senate colleague Sen. Fred Harris saying he was deeply disturbed at the student-spy link, said a new, civilian agency should be established to support UA cultural and social projects overseas. In New York Sen. Eugene J. said, "We must continue to press for greater congressional control over operation" of the CIA.

He said Congress should examine what he said was CIA support of foreign refugee groups in this country and its subsidization of books published for consumption here and abroad. And Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana renewed his call for a Senate investigation of the whole affair by the special committee headed by Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga. that watches over the CIA.

"It's a situation that bears looking into in depth," he said. Dr. E. G. Williamson, University of Minnesota dean of students and president of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators said the CIA-NSA contradicts the ideals of an open, democratic and independent student union." Lt.

Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service' said he may have appealed draft classifications of NSA officers and added he remembered talking to some NSA men. But he said, "I don't recall the conversations." Ramparts said some NSA officers got draft deferments as a result of the link with the CIA. Hershey said in an interview he has had no communications with the CIA "on anything during the last four or five years." WASHINGTON CAP) Testimony that Adam Clayton Powell apparently diverted thousands of dollars intended as his wife's salary may have made a strong impact on the select House committee weighing his fitness to serve in Congress.

Chairman Emanuel Celler, D- N.Y., said Thursday's testimony by the Harlem congressman's estranged wife, Marjorie, depicted Powell as being "in the position of coercing her in taking the checks from her, signing her name and disposing of the funds for his own purposes." Celler described the soft-spo- Sled Dogs Disprove Physicians SEATTLE (AP) A classic medical theory on blood circulation appears to be headed for the dogs. It has been believed and taught that exercise, such as running, drives more blood into the legs which require it. To compensate, the theory holds, the body may decrease the flow to the kidneys, for example, or the intestines. If so, somebody forgot to tell the dogs. At least, said a University of Washington researcher Thursday, Alaskan sled dogs racing 20 miles in 75 minutes at 45 degrees below zero didn't show the slightest decrease in blood flow to other body parts, although their legs received additional blood.

Dr. Robert L. van Citters, whose work is endowed by the Washington State Heart Association, has published preliminary reports on the flow levels of exercising animals. Work is continuing on Alaskan dogs and will include tests this March at an altitude of about 14 000 feet on Alaska's Mt. Wrangell.

The Air Force, interested in cold weather and high altitude survival, is participating in the work. "We haven't completed our work," Van Citters emphasized, "but after five years of research we think what probably happens in heavy exercise is that the heart works harder and distrib-. utes more blood as needed." How do the scientists measure blood flow in a racing Malemute? By telemetry. Miniature collars of styrofoam are clamped around arteries, from these, hair-thin wires lead to a saddlebag on the dog's back. As the sled dogs race through the snow, the flow and pressure rates automatically are radioed to recording instruments at a field laboratory.

ken Mrs. Powell as "a woman of great courage." Sources close to the committee described the testimony as "closer to the Congress" than other matters being studied such as Powell's New York court troubles, in which appeals currently are pending. The committee's major problem, the sources indicated, is to determine just what action is warranted by the evidence and 'by historical precedents covering past cases in which congressmen were expelled or punished. Staff aides are spending the three-day weekend laying. what Rep.

Arch A. Moore, called guidelines covering possible courses of action. The committee plans to meet again Monday just three days before its deadline for presenting recommendations to the House. Ironically, Mrs. Powell, who presented testimony which'Cell- er called "damaging in the sense it didn't help Mr.

Powell wound up her appearance with an appeal that Powell be seated. "Though we have not been together for some time, Adam is my husband and the father of my child," she said. "It is my fervent wish that he will continue his career in the service of his country." While testifying, Mrs. Powell looked at 19 government checks totaling about $26,000 made out to her from January 1965 to July 1966 and said the endorsing signature was not hers. "It does look familiar on some but I'm not absolutely sure," she said when asked whether she could identify the handwriting.

Powell has said he deposited the checks in his bank account and paid his wife's bills. But Mrs. Powell said she never had given anyone authorization to cash the checks, that her husband's support payments were far less than the amount of the salary and that she understood he had not paid any of her bills. When asked what happened to her paychecks, Mrs. Powell said, "I didn't get them," Later she said, "I thought he was getting them but I couldn't tell for sure." Mrs.

Powell said she had done little congressional work since 1963, and none since the summer of 1965. But she said she repeatedly- had tried to get Powell to bring her back to. Washington from their Puerto Rico home. She had moved there in 1961 just.before their son, also named Adam, was born. "He never allowed me to come back," she said, adding that she wanted to either come back or have her name taken from the payroll.

Being carried on the payroll while not working was "a very embarrassing sit. uation to me back home," she said. cial Purchase NORTHERN COMMERCIAL 1867-1967 CT Coats 33 Values to $45 Suits 26 Values to $36 Slocks MO Values to $17 Jersey Tops 5 Values to $8 A complete collection of separates, tops, slacks, suits and coats color- coordinated wonderfully wearable, designed for today's active, well- dressed wompn.
